EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Yellow Baboon - Papio cynocephalus This print showcases the Yellow Baboon, scientifically known as Papio cynocephalus, also referred to as the Dog-faced Baboon. The image is a hand-coloured copperplate engraving, created by the skilled engraver John Pass, based on an original illustration by Johann Jakob Ihle. The artwork was published as part of Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History in London, 1795. The Yellow Baboon is a species of Old World monkey, native to sub-Saharan Africa. They are characterized by their yellow-gold fur, which contrasts beautifully with their dark faces and limbs. The term "Dog-faced Baboon" comes from their canine-like features, particularly their prominent canines and pointed snouts. These social primates live in troops that range from several dozen to over 200 individuals. They are omnivores, feeding on a variety of fruits, leaves, flowers, seeds, and insects, as well as small vertebrates and even birds. Their social structure is complex, with dominant males leading the group and females forming strong bonds with each other. This exquisite print not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of the Yellow Baboon but also offers a glimpse into the natural history of the 18th century. The intricate details of the baboon's features, captured through the artistry of Pass and Ihle, make this a valuable piece for any collection focused on natural history, primatology, or art.
